I know because I fell for one of these myself.
So what a mom to do? Well you could go Googling each company to see what others have written, but some saavy companies have found a way around that. Now they hire marketers to write phoney positive reviews and post them in forums of the net.

Are you a web designer who is fed up with working in a busy office where it is hard to concentrate on what you are doing? Are you frustrated by the hours you are required to keep? Do you have innovative design ideas and wish you had the freedom to implement them?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you should consider putting your web design skills to work for yourself. You can work from your own home, create the kind of work environment that is best for you, and set your own hours. Best of all, you can implement the innovative designs you have developed while working for someone else.
Modern technology makes it possible for people who work from home to remain accessible to clients even when they are not in their home offices. With a cell phone, e-mail service, and other electronic equipment, you can receive calls, make calls, respond to e-mails, and send out your latest proposal whether you are at the coffee shop or on vacation. What a contrast to being stuck behind a desk all day working for someone else.
There is another advantage to modern technology: it makes it possible for you to advertise your services in the domain most familiar to you. As a web designer, you do your best work with computers. It is only natural, therefore, that you would want to use computers to share that work with others in hopes of attracting new customers. You can seek clients, design their web pages, deliver the finished product, and close the deal – all from the comfort of your home.

Finding Legitimate Work at Home
You’ve probably learned by now that finding legitimate work at home opportunity is no an easy task. There are countless scams which are like wolves in sheep’s clothing. They appear to be above board but they really aren’t. Some never pay at all. They just charge you a membership and thats all you’ve got. Others actually do pay, but after a few simple calculations you learn that with the time you’ve spent marketing their product, you’re earning about half of minimum wage.
It’s time to Stop the Madness.
Stop wasting your time and money filling out surveys for pennies and soliciting others to join multi level marketing referral programs.
If you don’t have young children at home, and can guarantee a quiet working environment, customer service and sales phone work is a great opportunity. Many companies like West and Live Ops which I can personally vouch for, allow you to set your own hours. They both give bonuses although Live Ops does pay about $3-$12 more per hour depending on how good you are at upselling.
Below is a long list of real work at customer service/phone jobs. Some I have actually been hired for, or know other wahm moms who have. As with any employment opportunity, be sure to research each opportunity to verify that it is right for you.
